Child Care Hub — A Win-Win for Working Women
The Motherhood Penalty is a reality that many working women face while returning to work after a life event like childbirth. At Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram, a public-private partnership venture unites women from different strata of society, enabling them to support and uplift one another. Together, they operate a path-breaking daycare facility, Child Care Hub, which connects the dots of social security, women’s empowerment, child welfare, community development, and progress. Presented by Anuradha Nagaraj, Radio Azim Premji University brings you the story in the voices of the women powering the initiative.

In the Rann of Kutch, Kharai camels walk on water
The Fakirani Jats inhabit the Rann of Kutch, where the 2500 sq-km Banni grassland segues into salt marshes and marine mangrove wetlands abutting the Arabian Sea. The livelihood of this pastoralist community is built around their pack animals, particularly the rare and hardy Kharai camel, a breed uniquely adapted to the region’s terrain and climate. As increased salt extraction and industrialisation fragment the fragile mangroves and force the herdsmen away from their traditional livelihood, the Kharai has become an endangered breed. A local organisation, Sahjeevan, has intervened with multiple initiatives to support the Fakirani Jats and sustain their traditional occupation of camel pastoralism. In the third episode of Stories Of Change with Anuradha Nagaraj, we train the spotlight on Sahjeevan’s work among the camel herders of western Gujarat.
